Benalla Rural City Mayor Bernie Hearn said funding had been allocated for the establishment of dog park facilities in Benalla as part of the Council Budget 2022-23.
“A total of $100,000 has been allocated to this project and we estimate that several fenced off-leash areas could be delivered, depending on the size and location chosen,” Cr Hearn said.
“Each new dog park would be developed with appropriate fencing, bench seating, as well as clear signage.
“As part of the community consultation, we are asking the community to help choose the best locations.”
The potential sites under consideration include Psaltis Parade Reserve, Cook St Reserve, Gaskin St entry, Churchill Reserve, 91-109 Arundel St, 4-6 Monash Dve, Neil Ave Bushland Reserve, Hair Crt and corner of Benson and Market Sts.
Council officers will be at Churchill Reserve on the morning of Saturday, December 3 to answer questions from the community.
